Far be it from me to be critical of someone who made it to day 8 of the main event, but you have 44 million chips in front of you, and you just blow up with second pair? I’d be devastated, there’s no way to sugar coat it, that’s a bad way to go out of the Main Event. Totally unnecessary.
That easy to say sitting on the couch, much more difficult when you’re in the pressure cooker. She took a shot at trying to get her opponent to fold at the wrong time (remember, she had outs and couldn’t see his hole cards like you could). As someone who’s played this game over 50 years, at minimum, I give her credit for trying to play for the win instead of a better payday.
Unfortunately that is a move she will kick herself for the rest of her life. Just weird to see a top top pro do something like that, not blowing up but donking out at such a critical stage with so many chips in a fold and move on situation. That was like your favorite football team being 3 QB kneel downs from winning the Super Bowl and he fumbles the ball and a defensive tackle takes it 80 yards for the game winning TD. I was so invested in her reaching the final table and hoping to see her win it that going out like that feels like a punch in the gut. I just hope she and her friends do not try to rationalize it and come up with some elaborate line of thinking and just chalk it up to what it was, a total punt, so it does not go down that ugly ever again.
Your analogy is completely wrong. It would only work if she was the chip leader but she was already down 20 million chips from her high point, and was getting squeezed at the table. She made a move at the wrong time and it cost her. I watched her play for 10 hours the last 2 days, but all you guys watch 1 hand and think you know everything. Sit back down.
Yes makes zero sense... She apperantly wants a better hand then QK to fold so Pair of aces or better. But why would he even bet just an ACE on the turn.
or maybe just call turn if you think hes bluffing,no need to shove 2nd pair,is she trying to even make weak A-x fold,?hed probably check those back,i cant understand ir
Foxen got lucky to make it that far with her many many bluffs and weak play by other players. The commentators were annoying about getting her to the final. It was only a matter of time she would make a mistake and did it to the wrong player with a big hand. I wonder if she has ADHD with the amount of standing up and pouting her face all the time.
She got this type of nonsense through two AJ guys on an A-high board earlier, now is trying it again. I don't understand the thinking. This guy is clearly trying to rep an ace so why go all-in?
I wonder if she got tired and decided to go for it. She had other people covered and could have played for ICM to ladder up and at least make the final table and one million dollar pay off. No reason to put it in that spot. You would have to be ahead of an A to begin with.
@@sean6977 I wouldn't say she was lucky to make this far; she was able to aggressively steal pots because that is a huge part of her game. but, I was thinking that her aggression would finally be her downfall, but didn't expect her to make that bad of a decision in that spot, Vanessa Selbst style.
That is a hideously unnecessary move when you are on the brink of history. What on earth made her decide to risk it all on a bluff that she did not need????
Please Polk or J Little analyse this because im absolutely baffled and have been trying to come up with reasons to shove their,apart from some dumb "i have a Q blocker to a straight" thing.Seems like total madness
yea i guess he was utg so he must of raised and she called like the only thing she beat that would raise there is K 10 or a under pair everything else out flopped her hard and there was 2 flush draws to boot like yea ,its as bad a getting aces and u keep calling down on a flush and or straighted board just silly .
She definitely just leveled herself into believing that he wasn't strong enough to call a shove. Still perplexing to end up there given that she had a big enough stack to ride right into the final table, but alas.
Apparently she has history against Serock in terms that she has played against him plenty of times. I just think she made a horrible read in him, expecting him to have AX and possibly fold a weaker A with kicker, but he bet 11 mil, don't know how she thought he would still fold even if he had a weak AX.
This is 100% the biggest punt of the wsop this year. She was in a great spot to reach the FT, and if she reached the FT, she'd be immortalized. Maybe even more than the eventual winner of this event. The narrative of the 1st woman to reach the FT in 30yrs would be worth millions to her in ambassador deals and stuff. This would already be considered a bad play in cash, and an absolute ICM punt at this stage of the tournament. With all this considered it's just not close. Anyway, it's still been a great run and super fun to follow though. She's played some great hands in the previous days.
With the sizes of entries in the main event the odds are insurmountable she’ll get this close again. Amazing run but had a chance to make history and gagged.
yeah, we say that all the time but some players just have a knack for it. Jonathan Tamayo has been extremely deep multiple times, Brian Kim was the chip leader with about 50 or 60 left in 2022 and is at the final table. Navigating these types of fields is a skill different from knowing all your GTO charts and spots and having done it once gives players a massive edge to do it again. Cada and Newhouse both made multiple final tables in these sized fields, John Cynn finished 10th and then won it the next year, Damian Salas has multiple deep deep runs and a win. She can be back in this position for sure.
@@8BitChad Antoine Saout has a crazy Main Event record as well. Final tables in both 2009 (3rd) & 2017 (5th). He came 25th in 2016 and busted this year in the top 350.
It was the last 3 or 4 hands in a row. Not just this one. Went from 70M to 0 really quick. I think the first 2 beats got her tilted and off her game. Easy to happen after all that time and pressure of getting to the final table. She had plenty of chips to play safe for another 2 hours and make it.
One thing about that is when she got to 70 million she should have just folded to the final table, walk away from the table with your blinds sitting out there you're going to induce action other players thinking they will steal it and other players will be making moves on your big blind every time it comes around do it for 3 orbits see what happens 18 hands.
She was playing so unbelievably well. Its hard to watch her punt it all away with KQ on a AKJ flop. I thought she could've easily gotten away from the hand when Serock bet the turn
Is she lucky those who say she is here, because she's a woman? Lol..foxen has tons in winnings. She's pretty well versed. But yeah, it was luck surviving to this point. All but making final table
Seems like a reasonable bluff candidate imo. she blocks strong Two pairs, kk, qt, and unblocks single pair ax which might fold. idk what's actually optimal but at least logically it makes some sense to me
@@craigferguson3433 a decent bluffing candidate but absolute ICM blunder, notice how lena900 completely changed his playstyle with a comfortable chip lead. She torched 3 million dollars on fire, she could have folded out the rest of her hands and still gotten 6th place.
He had top 2, he didn’t know she was bluffing, his hand was just too strong to ever consider folding especially consider he beats some of her value shoves like KJ or AJ
Correct, I'm sure Serock saw that 99 hand she fluffed where she also double checked her hole cards before bluffing and that make his call here even easier
If she had called turn and shoved river theres a better chance serock folds since river was a heart,he probably still calls but hes certainly not folding when all he loses to realistically is q10
Kristin didn’t have enough in her stack for him to fold to river if she had called the turn. You have to node lock for the solver to anything but fold on the turn
Sick part is. She’s going to sleep at night knowing she will probably never get this opportunity again in her lifetime, and she blundered it in a series of horribly played hands after she was @ 71M in chips. She tried to bluff just previous to this hand on a Queen high board and lost 19,000,000 and I think the anxiety after that point of wanting to make final table so bad is what had her blast off like that I really really feel for her and was rooting for her. Very sad

@@MattRowland 25bbs is pretty fukcing far from a short stack at this point in the tournament, its close to average, also she didnt have 25bbs, she had 30bbs if she folded, this is just a massive punt but its something we've seen many times before in this tournament, alot of people cant handle the pressure of being this close.
Iv'e said it before and i'll say it again, please no more Maria Ho in The commentary Booth. Staying obvious facts 90% of the time and the other 10% yapping about blockers without any nuance
Busting out this deep is always painful. Coolers are a huge letdown but coolers happen and you can live with it. Suckouts are frustrating but people get lucky and you can live with that too. This wasn't a cooler or someone getting lucky. This was donking out and it's really gonna sting for awhile.
At any average cash game or average tournament it possible to ignore Foxen's play. But with few players left to make the final table of the main event, and with enough chips to make the final table, Foxen conduct was very very strange. Please consider the following: 1) The pre-flop raise is from under the gun. 2) The player under the gun has her covered. 3) She decides to defend BB with KQ off, which is OK 4) The Flop is J, A , K, and the preflop raiser makes a bet. Considering the special moment, she should have folded there. 5) But She calls the Flop bet, and faces another big bet on the Turn. Again, she had a chance to get away. But instead, she pushes all-in and is out of the tournament...!!! Foxen is an excellent player, and such mistake must be the result of being exhausted, and complete loss of awareness of the very special moment.
@@JimmySands-pd7xt what is ridiculous is giving the opportunity of being on the final table , when several short stacks were around. If Foxen avoided big confrontations, she had an excellent chance to get on the final table. And for her getting on final table and getting endorsements, as the only woman on the final table in 30 years, had more value than the $10,000,000 first prize...!!! That's why folding at any stage-- preflop, plop, turn, or river was the right play. Tamayo was smart enough to fold QQ, avoid confrontation, end up on the final table, and win the event....!!!
I was just telling a buddy the other day that she would be eliminated by Joe serock when I saw they were going to be on the same table. Played with him at a table at a WPT event he's a very crafty player
To show you what you are missing out on without a PokerGo subscription. This is up for the same reason the highlights are posted; it's an advertisement.
but why shove over a bluff?In case a heart or spade hits and he uses that to bluff again with? or she want to deny equity to flush draws?Fck it only 2nd pair and a decent stack she will get better oppurtunities to increase stack size later on when smallies start shoving. dont have to win every hand,think of future game edge
She could have made the final table by folding to the money don't get fancy and Foxen got fancy and she paid the price, nice grind until that hand, easy fold with that ACE out there.
as a fellow Canadian, I've been a huge fan of Kristen's for awhile now, but this hand? yikes..not sure why she thought this play would work in this spot?...she didn't need to risk it all in this spot. Unfortunately, this is a huge punt...she will be thinking about this hand for years. However, CONGRATULATIONS on 13th , huge accomplishment!!!!
I would’ve folded bases on the fact that there’s two smaller chip stacks at my table that also have to play the BB. I’m not risking my tournament life or possible final table against someone who has me covered and made such a huge turn bet in an early position. I’m honestly shocked she went all in. Seemed like at least a call on the turn and maybe a shove on the River but he’s never folding AK after that big turn bet.
Not saying this happened, but sometimes when I get some huge bluffs through it inflates my confidence and I run with bluffs when I really don’t need to or I miss cues that it’s not the right time.
after 8 days of grueling poker, thats normally the moments where the winner splits from the looser, nothing to be ashamed, even if serocks line was clear here that he never would step away from that board at the turn,, congrats Kristen to a great tournament
goes all in with this hand, can show just how much luck is involved, because for 10m, you don't shove with a king when an ace is out there lol, brain stopped working
What a punt. Why would you ever shove in that spot?! He raised UTG and bet flop and turn so what hand does he hold and play the way he did that you are beating in this spot? You think he is bluffing in this spot?! You think he is playing jacks the way he played it? You think he is playing a combo-draw the way he played it? Crazy, crazy punt. Don't ever think you have something to prove at the poker table, and always play as GTO as possible every hand, especially when you are playing for 8 figures!
many saying this is punt, but was it really that bad? fold pre an option? (i guess not) vs tight players i fold here sometimes KQ dominated but this raise came from the LJ. flop: standard Turn: calling this bet arent we comitting? there are two fd on the board. is a call even on the table here? ship or fold on the turn?
Easy flop call. Easy turn fold vs that bet size and his range, and the configuration of short stacks, the FT bubble looming. So many reasons to fold. If she calls turn shell have to fold to any river shove, very bad visability on rivers
It looked to me like Serock gave away quite a few fake tells with his chip shuffling, it looked like Kristen picked up on something he did and got a false live read.
Massive pressure and so close to the dream. I’m pretty sure she never plays KQ normally that way but sometimes this happens when the situation gets the better of you. WP GG anyway.

@@MattRowland 25bbs is pretty fukcing far from a short stack at this point in the tournament, its close to average, also she didnt have 25bbs, she had 30bbs if she folded, this is just a massive punt but its something we've seen many times before in this tournament, alot of people cant handle the pressure of being this close.
@@glennhagstedt Exactly..plus from ICM prospective have so much value cause of the payjump is so high for the last 10 players
Serock looks like a track and field athlete
I actually think he looks like Corporal Maxwell Klinger from the TV show M.A.S.H.
My first thought was drg addiction. Funny we were no where close to each other 😅
Well, he is wearing a tennis shirt.
He looks like a skeleton and athlete at the same time
Looks like a vegan
Maria Ho: “she blocks the Q10”
And? What about the million other hands he can have that beats 2nd pair LOL 😂
Maria loves pointing out meaningless blockers to justify a badly played hand.
Probably because it’s easy for her(Maria)to excuse bad play with “well I had blockers”
Yeah the blocker talk has gotten out of hand. She blocks AK too lol
She also blocked herself from advancing. Lol.
Iv'e said it before and i'll say it again, please no more Maria Ho in The commentary Booth. Staying obvious facts 90% of the time and the other 10% yapping about blockers without any nuance
Jordan Griff being the chip leader is actually kind of funny.
That was stupid
I get the play pre and on the flop but that turn jam is braindead...
Maybe you can bluff raise when youre deeper but in that spot in the main.. just fold and live to see another day
Inconceivable.. What a lost opportunity just lay it down you had 40 million
Busting out this deep is always painful. Coolers are a huge letdown but coolers happen and you can live with it. Suckouts are frustrating but people get lucky and you can live with that too. This wasn't a cooler or someone getting lucky. This was donking out and it's really gonna sting for awhile.
At any average cash game or average tournament it possible to ignore Foxen's play. But with few players left to make the final table of the main event, and with enough chips to make the final table, Foxen conduct was very very strange. Please consider the following: 1) The pre-flop raise is from under the gun. 2) The player under the gun has her covered. 3) She decides to defend BB with KQ off, which is OK 4) The Flop is J, A , K, and the preflop raiser makes a bet. Considering the special moment, she should have folded there. 5) But She calls the Flop bet, and faces another big bet on the Turn. Again, she had a chance to get away. But instead, she pushes all-in and is out of the tournament...!!! Foxen is an excellent player, and such mistake must be the result of being exhausted, and complete loss of awareness of the very special moment.
Flop is a clear call, ridiculous to suggest she should have folded
@@JimmySands-pd7xt what is ridiculous is giving the opportunity of being on the final table , when several short stacks were around. If Foxen avoided big confrontations, she had an excellent chance to get on the final table. And for her getting on final table and getting endorsements, as the only woman on the final table in 30 years, had more value than the $10,000,000 first prize...!!! That's why folding at any stage-- preflop, plop, turn, or river was the right play. Tamayo was smart enough to fold QQ, avoid confrontation, end up on the final table, and win the event....!!!
What a punt
If she thought this was a bluff she has a long way to go 😂
Brunette Kristen Bicknell would have never made that play.
Pretty ridiculous to get out of line vs utg range on that board and at that stage of the tournament!
What a crazy punt that punt is worth alot of money
when you don't need the money you don't care about the money
@@AH-bo5gb pretty sure she would care about 10 million 😄 🤣
@@joshthomas9330-If she folds on the turn she had 37 mil left which is worth at the very least 2 or 3 pay jumps lol.
@T-roc57 yh and one double up and she would have been laughing
@@AH-bo5gbi am pretty sure she does
It's so wholesome to see how she and her husband are always present at each other's tourneys. They seem happy together, I like that for them
Ego ALLIN....I know everyone is watching...I'm gonna showoff how amazing I am.Just ridiculous!
Donked it off wow
She came so close to making history, I feel gutted for her, I hope she doesn’t beat herself up too much over this
So close, yet so far. lololololol
These things happen, especially in a very long tiring tournament like this one. Mental fatigue can cause you to make bad decisions.
Silly to throw away your main event like that
I was just telling a buddy the other day that she would be eliminated by Joe serock when I saw they were going to be on the same table. Played with him at a table at a WPT event he's a very crafty player
You act like he made some amazing read.
@@tommyfu9271 um no I just simply said he's crafty
Lol this is completely standard to play ak like that, not like he made some amazing move or anything
@@JimmySands-pd7xt exactly.
We have a new Vanessa SealBUST
Fatigue induced misclick
Agree...real shame
The guy next to her put me on tilt just looking at him. If my screen were scratch and sniff I'd probably gone insane.
That’s got to be fatigue……totally unnecessary. Great run.
I loved watching it
Why put this video up before the day 8 highlights? 🤷♂️
Exactly!! I was looking forward to watching her play
To show you what you are missing out on without a PokerGo subscription. This is up for the same reason the highlights are posted; it's an advertisement.
Gotta get that fomo for more subscribers
Got to play against her in an online bracelet event final table , I am very happy to have had such an incredible opponent. Kristen rules!
How could you ever think hes bluffing there
Fatigue. Emotional roller coaster, she almost got knocked out a few hours earlier.
but why shove over a bluff?In case a heart or spade hits and he uses that to bluff again with? or she want to deny equity to flush draws?Fck it only 2nd pair and a decent stack she will get better oppurtunities to increase stack size later on when smallies start shoving.
dont have to win every hand,think of future game edge
@@Gos1234567
Deny equity from flush draws is exactly right - only logical explanation. UTGs range is just too strong to do it though.
was it a raised, re-raised preflop situation?
Dubbel flush draw on board probably, but this is a massive punt
Harrison Butker is so proud of her
Her husband wasn't pleased by this play rotflmao
She could have made the final table by folding to the money don't get fancy and Foxen got fancy and she paid the price, nice grind until that hand, easy fold with that ACE out there.
And made history now No one will remember her in couple years
Pushing all in after a 11.6m bet on the turn is pretty wild... no one is bluffing at that point.
That's a truly ludicrous line to take
as a fellow Canadian, I've been a huge fan of Kristen's for awhile now, but this hand? yikes..not sure why she thought this play would work in this spot?...she didn't need to risk it all in this spot. Unfortunately, this is a huge punt...she will be thinking about this hand for years. However, CONGRATULATIONS on 13th , huge accomplishment!!!!
i cant believe she made this play at this time.
never seen a bigger ICM punt before... great run tho, GG
Lococo 2021 final table
I would’ve folded bases on the fact that there’s two smaller chip stacks at my table that also have to play the BB. I’m not risking my tournament life or possible final table against someone who has me covered and made such a huge turn bet in an early position. I’m honestly shocked she went all in. Seemed like at least a call on the turn and maybe a shove on the River but he’s never folding AK after that big turn bet.
I feel like Serock got in her head. The way she was talking to him on other days, it seemed like she was almost wooed by him.
Great run! Would have been interesting to see her in the final table!! Congrats either way!
As Daniel would say "That's and Oppsie"...
The excitement that comes with winning, It's always fun to play with friends on Hugewin.
No it’s not. Just stop with this bullshit.
Wow I could play at this level
Not saying this happened, but sometimes when I get some huge bluffs through it inflates my confidence and I run with bluffs when I really don’t need to or I miss cues that it’s not the right time.
She wrecked her chance of making final table on a basic bluff into Sherlock. Who 3 bet and lead out, wtf thinking
the punt of a lifetime
Seriously.... What tf was she thinking? Might as well not even play if you're just going to give it away like this.
after 8 days of grueling poker, thats normally the moments where the winner splits from the looser, nothing to be ashamed, even if serocks line was clear here that he never would step away from that board at the turn,, congrats Kristen to a great tournament
goes all in with this hand, can show just how much luck is involved, because for 10m, you don't shove with a king when an ace is out there lol, brain stopped working
If someone will tell me poker is a game of skill I will show him this hand 😂
What a blunder.
What a punt. Why would you ever shove in that spot?! He raised UTG and bet flop and turn so what hand does he hold and play the way he did that you are beating in this spot? You think he is bluffing in this spot?! You think he is playing jacks the way he played it? You think he is playing a combo-draw the way he played it? Crazy, crazy punt. Don't ever think you have something to prove at the poker table, and always play as GTO as possible every hand, especially when you are playing for 8 figures!
Well if he was playing jacks this way he had her beaten too haha
Gross energy in these comments. She was fun to watch, played extremely well, and was easy to root for. Congrats Kristen, you should be very proud.
Foxen was gifted the last two rounds.
Sorek looks like he smells
many saying this is punt, but was it really that bad?
fold pre an option? (i guess not) vs tight players i fold here sometimes KQ dominated but this raise came from the LJ.
flop: standard
Turn: calling this bet arent we comitting? there are two fd on the board. is a call even on the table here? ship or fold on the turn?
Easy flop call. Easy turn fold vs that bet size and his range, and the configuration of short stacks, the FT bubble looming. So many reasons to fold. If she calls turn shell have to fold to any river shove, very bad visability on rivers
Ah! She was playing so well. Bluff with KK the other day was next level. Fatigue gets us all I guess
She’ll remember this for life
Turn your middle pair on an ace high board into a bluff? Why
Woman?
Very aggressive. Won't be pushed around.
Man, that bet sizing was absolutely perfect on the river.
I mean I was gonna comment about how absolutely horrible this was but it seems like every other comment has that covered. 😂
Here we thought no one could play worse donking off chips like Song did... Foxen " Hold my beer!"
It looked to me like Serock gave away quite a few fake tells with his chip shuffling, it looked like Kristen picked up on something he did and got a false live read.
2:43 to 2:54 she looks alot at his chips and seems to come up to a conclusion.
Massive pressure and so close to the dream. I’m pretty sure she never plays KQ normally that way but sometimes this happens when the situation gets the better of you. WP GG anyway.
Oh she made plays like this the whole tournament but luck eventually runs out
Easy fold
2:25 👈🏼🤨 what’s up with all that noise in the background, when ppl are playing for millions?? SMH
That was the worst ever! A,K,J Op raised pre-. That's a hero all in raise! Two Player's, below at her table. I literally was rooting for her,
Her husband was going to buy her a new watch if she won the whole thing, then remembered there’s a clock on the stove.
